If your home caught on fire and you could only grab one thing (knowing that your children and husband are out of the house) what would you grab?
I would grab the quilt that my grandmother made me. When we found out that I would be moving to Missouri she started making it. I had picked out the fabric and she did the rest by hand. She hand stitched every detail. I love this quilt! It is so beautiful. And when I am feeling a little homesick I will wrap myself in it and think about all the wonderful times I have shared with my grandmother-Nanny. I strive to be like her everyday. She has battled so much and she keeps on going. When I go to visit we can sit and just talk about anything. I love her so much.

Our pictures! Our maybe just my computer base thingy... b/c I haven't printed pics since April :S
I would grab my wedding album. And if I could reach it, a box of pictures from before I had a digital camera. I can't imagine losing pictures...I guess that's one material thing that I hold so dear.
I would grab my wedding pictures and my girls baby books. If I had time to go back in I would get the 2 quilts my great grandmother made me too.
I wonder if I would grab our photos/computer/DVDs of memories... or if I'd have the presence of mind to even grab my phone to call 911!!
If I had time and could get up into the attic, I would get my antique Christmas ornaments. They can kind of be replaced... but... I love them so much that it would be hard to see them burn to a crisp!
Do you use the quilt for warmth ora decoration?
